dev ? function ?" +.Sh DESCRIPTION +The +.Nm +driver provides support for various NICs based on the Broadcom BCM570x +family of gigabit ethernet controller chips, including the +following: +.Pp +.Bl -bullet -compact +.It +3Com 3c996-T (10/100/1000baseTX) +.It +Dell PowerEdge 2550 integrated BCM5700 NIC (10/100/1000baseTX) +.It +SysKonnect SK-9D21 (10/100/1000baseTX) +.It +SysKonnect SK-9D41 (1000baseSX) +.El +.Pp +All of these NICs are capable of 10, 100 and 1000Mbps speeds over CAT5 +copper cable, except for the SysKonnect SK-9D41 which supports only +1000Mbps over multimode fiber. +The BCM570x builds upon the technology of the Alteon Tigon II. +It has two R4000 CPU cores and is PCI v2.2 and PCI-X v1.0 compliant. +It supports +.\"IP, TCP +.\"and UDP checksum checksum offload for both receive and transmit, +multiple RX and TX DMA rings for QoS applications, rules-based +receive filtering, and VLAN tag stripping/insertion as well as +a 256-bit multicast hash filter. +Additional features may be provided via value-add firmware updates. +The BCM570x supports TBI (ten bit interface) and GMII transceivers, which +means it can be used with either copper of 1000baseX fiber applications. +Note however the device only supports a single speed in TBI mode. +.Pp +Most cards also use the Broadcom BCM5401 or BCM5411 10/100/1000 +copper gigabit tranceivers, +which support autonegotiation of 10, 100 and 1000mbps modes in +full or half duplex. +.\".Pp +.\"The BCM5700 also supports jumbo frames, which can be configured +.\"via the interface MTU setting. +.\"Selecting an MTU larger than 1500 bytes with the +.\".Xr ifconfig 8 +.\"utility configures the adapter to receive and transmit jumbo frames. +.\"Using jumbo frames can greatly improve performance for certain tasks, +.\"such as file transfers and data streaming. +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media types: +.Bl -tag -width 10baseTXUTP +.It Cm autoselect +Enable autoselection of the media type and options. +The user can manually override +the autoselected mode by adding media options to +.Xr rc.conf 5 . +.It Cm 10baseT/UTP +Set 10Mbps operation. +The +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Ic mediaopt +option can also be used to select either +.Cm full-duplex +or +.Cm half-duplex +modes. +.It Cm 100baseTX +Set 100Mbps (fast ethernet) operation. +The +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Ic mediaopt +option can also be used to select either +.Cm full-duplex +or +.Cm half-duplex +modes. +.It Cm 1000baseTX +Set 1000baseTX operation over twisted pair. +.Cm full-duplex +and +.Cm half-duplex +modes are supported. +.It Cm 1000baseSX +Set 1000Mbps (gigabit ethernet) operation. +Both +.Cm full-duplex +and +.Cm half-duplex +modes are supported. +.El +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver supports the following media options: +.Bl -tag -width full-duplex +.It Cm full-duplex +Force full duplex operation. +.It Cm half-duplex +Force half duplex operation. +.El +.Pp +The +.Nm +driver also supports one special link option for 1000baseTX cards: +.Bl -tag -width link0 +.It Cm link0 +With 1000baseTX cards, establishing a link between two ports requires +that one port be configured as a master and the other a slave. +With autonegotiation, +the master/slave settings will be chosen automatically. +However when manually selecting the link state, it is necessary to +force one side of the link to be a master and the other a slave. +The +.Nm +driver configures the ports as slaves by default. +Setting the +.Cm link0 +flag with +.Xr ifconfig 8 +will set a port as a master instead. +.El +.Pp +For more information on configuring this device, see +.Xr ifconfig 8 . +.Sh DIAGNOSTICS +.Bl -diag +.It "bge%d: couldn't map memory" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "bge%d: couldn't map ports" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "bge%d: couldn't map interrupt" +A fatal initialization error has occurred. +.It "bge%d: no memory for softc struct!" +The driver failed to allocate memory for per-device instance information +during initialization. +.It "bge%d: failed to enable memory mapping!" +The driver failed to initialize PCI shared memory mapping. +This might +happen if the card is not in a bus-master slot. +.It "bge%d: no memory for jumbo buffers!" +The driver failed to allocate memory for jumbo frames during +initialization. +.It "bge%d: watchdog timeout" +The device has stopped responding to the network, or there is a problem with +the network connection (cable). +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr arp 4 , +.Xr netintro 4 , +.Xr ifconfig 8 +.Sh HISTORY +The +.Nm +device driver first appeared in +.Ox 3.0 . +.Sh AUTHORS +The +.Nm +driver was written by +.An Bill Paul Aq wpaul@windriver.com . |
